TL;DR: In this article, the problem of the intake of air for a missile flying at supersonic speeds and of changing the kinetic energy of the air into pressure with the least possible losses is treated.
Abstract: The problem of the intake of air is treated for a missile flying at supersonic speeds and of changing the kinetic energy of the air into pressure with the least possible losses. Calculations are carried out concerning the results which can be attained. After a discussion of several preliminary experiments, the practical solution of the problem at hand is indicated by model experiments. The results proved very satisfactory in view of the results which had been attained previously and the values which were anticipated theoretically.

TL;DR: A nonlinear fuzzy H/sub /spl infin// guidance law based on a fuzzy model is proposed for tactical missiles pursuing maneuvering targets in three-dimensional (3-D) space to eliminate the effects of approximation error and external disturbances.
Abstract: A nonlinear H/sub /spl infin// guidance law based on a fuzzy model is proposed for tactical missiles pursuing maneuvering targets in three-dimensional (3-D) space. In the proposed guidance scheme, the relative motion equations between the missile and target are first interpolated piecewise by Takagi-Sugeno linear fuzzy models. Then, a nonlinear fuzzy H/sub /spl infin// guidance law is designed to eliminate the effects of approximation error and external disturbances to achieve the desired goal. The linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique is then employed to treat this H/sub /spl infin// optimal guidance design in consideration of control constraints. Finally, the problem is further transformed into a standard eigenvalue problem so that it can be efficiently solved via a convex optimization algorithm, which is available from a numerical computation software.

TL;DR: In this paper, various guidance laws found in the literature and their relevance to autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are discussed, since existing guidance laws for underwater vehicles have emulated from tactical airborne missile systems, a number of approaches for the missile guidance systems are considered.
Abstract: The main problem in bringing autonomy to any vehicle lies in the design of a suitable guidance law. For truly autonomous operation, the vehicle needs to have a reliable Navigation, Guidance and Control (NGC) system of which the guidance system is the key element that generates suitable trajectories to be followed. In this review paper, various guidance laws found in the literature and their relevance to autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are discussed. Since existing guidance laws for underwater vehicles have emulated from tactical airborne missile systems, a number of approaches for the missile guidance systems are considered. Finally, potential guidance strategies for AUVs are proposed.
